Seven Stupid Mistakes and 7 Brilliant Things Teachers Do With Technology

This is a pic of a computer with more technology, can't really tell what it is
Stupid Mistakes
Number 1---Backing up data is the one that I chose to be the most stupid mistake. It should be an automatic thing to back up your data on a hard drive if you are using technology. Saving it on the computer is a fine idea, but also save it to a jump drive just in case your computer crashes or malfunction in other ways.

Number 7---Thinking that technology in schools will go away. Technology is the hottest thing that is out right now. It is used everywhere...in schools, banks,businesses, etc. Technology isn't going anywhere, if anything, it will be increased in many different ways.

Brilliant Things Teachers
Number 2---Creatively find and use resources is one of the two I chose to be brilliant with technology. Some things that you may look for in libraries may not be up to date resources. It is much easier to log onto the Internet and get very quick and easy sources for anything that you can think of. More creative stuff is posted online along with the information that you gather.

Number 3---Make conferencing real-time. I think that having an online grade book, an email, etc. are important things to have as a teacher. This way if parents have any questions, they will always have easy excess to you to ask these questions. if they are wondering about the child's grade, there will be an online grade book that they will be able to view. Parent should get involved with their kids when it comes to school. It will have a positive result.

New Classroom Rules
Number 7---Use polite speech when speaking, blogging, texting, Twittering, instant messaging, etc. All students should be polite when speaking regardless of what type of communication it may be. It is more of a chance that you will receive help, if seeked, if you talk to a person in a respectful way. Although many people break this rule a lot, it is better to respect the person you are communicating with.

Number 15--- Know what you are supposed to be learning, why, and what you will do with the knowledge. This is important to me because I believe that students should know all three of these W's. You have to know what you are learning in order to learn it; why you are learning enhances your knowledge even more, whether you will use it or not; knowing what you will do with it in the future is important because you just may need to be knowledgeable of what you are learning, in the future.
